Plagiarism And Its History
Plagiarism and its History
To plagiarize is often considered as to take words, ideas etc. from someone else 's work and use them in your own work, as if they were your own ideas (Longman Dictionary, 1995). The origin of plagiarism is noted by McArthur (1992) as to be derived from the obscolete noun 'plagiary ' which signalizes a 'kidnapper or a kidnapping, theft or a thief of ideas. This word comes from Latin word 'plagiarius ', which means a kidnapper or literary thief. First recorded use of 'plagiary ' dates back to the late 16th century. The words 'plagiary ' and 'plagiarism ' appeared in the 18th century dictionaries of Nathaniel Bailey and Samuel Johnson. Plagiarism may be unintentional, caused by unawareness of English-speaking academic conventions which acknowledge all sources in their writing. Many study guides or books for students give advice, examples and ways which explain that sources should be cited (eg. Waters and Waters, 1995, Hapm-Lyons and Courter, 1984, Leki, 1989) The article clearly sets out format of creating a bibliography and shows the different layout for books, journals and other papers (Lynch and McGrath, 1993).
